Reflections for Police Officer Emily Jewett Morgenroth

I believe I attended High School with Emily and she left somewhere around our Junior year. If she spent time in Cincinnati and this is her she was an amazing person. Either way Godspeed Officer. If this is the Emily I remember thank you for your service and just being you when we were young.

Never Forgotten. A sister and friend. It was both a personal and Department loss. My thoughts still go out to her family and friends (both her blood and our blue)
Her loss is still felt every October.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 12th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

I hope to meet some of your family at a NORCAL COPS function one day. You were an amazing young woman who is loved and missed by so many.

Rest In Peace

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Emily:

No doubt, had You achieved Your goal of becoming a member of the FBI, You would have been a great asset. You succeeded at something that I only dreamed of doing - studying and teaching in Japan. Your accomplishments since leaving UCLA were incredible for one so young. May You Rest-In-Peace.

Ten years ago today. It's like it was yesterday.
